The book ""The Anglican Church, The Creature And Slave Of The State: Being A Refutation Of Certain Puseyite Claims"" is written by Peter Cooper. The book is a detailed analysis and refutation of certain claims made by the Puseyites, a group of Anglican theologians who believed in the Catholic tradition and authority of the Church. The book argues that the Anglican Church is not a slave to the State, as the Puseyites claimed, but rather an independent institution with its own governance and authority. The author provides historical evidence to support this argument, tracing the development of the Church of England from its origins in the 16th century to the present day.The book also addresses the Puseyites' claims about the Church's relationship with the State, arguing that while the Church may have some ties to the State, it is not subservient to it.
